Information Shelby W. would like to know about your pet

In addition to daily routines, allergies, and special needs, I would like to know about your animal’s temperament. Are they friendly around humans or other animals? What are some quirks or special habits? Do they have a favorite way to play? All breeds welcome!

A typical day

I start with checking food & water bowls. Then we’ll go for a morning walk at your dog’s pace. Bonus points for nearby parks - we’ll most likely be heading there! I love playing with toys & giving treats throughout the day. Your pet will receive lots of pets & scratches. ❤️

Pet care experience

New to Rover? Use code: waiw96209 for $40 off your first booking with me 🦴 Hey there, I’m excited to be your new pet sitter! 🐾 I’ve sat for cats, dogs, fish and grew up riding horses and tending goats. I’m open to sitting for more types of animals. I worked and volunteered at the Oakland Zoo for 8 years. In 2021, graduated from Cal Poly SLO. I’m an avid daily walker who enjoys volunteering for the Elm St. Dog Park! Both your home and furry friend will be treated with care and respect. I love all animals and treat them as if they were my own best friends. I walk, feed, play, give pets, hugs, and lots of attention! For house sits, I can take in mail, trash bins, etc. I’ll communicate with you often and send photos. You can trust your pup is in safe and caring hands with me. Thanks for sniffing me! 🐾

Shelby did an outstanding job and I would definitely book again. Communication was great, lots of photos with a detailed breakdown of the visit. Took lots of notes during the initial meet and greet. Punctual with all visits. I felt no stress at work with my pets care. My dog and cat both seemed to love their company! Would definitely re-book.

Shelby did a wonderful job during the drop-in visit with Cooper! Every instruction was followed carefully, and it was clear that a lot of attention and care went into making sure Cooper felt comfortable and happy. Shelby was both professional and incredibly kind, creating such a positive experience from start to finish. It’s such a relief knowing Cooper is in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!

Shelby is wonderful - responsible, positive, caring, and we are so grateful. She looked after our dog with loving care and shared photos to review each day. We knew our dog was in good hands. We've known Shelby for many years and have respect and love for her. We won't hesitate to ask for her help next time.

Shelby is absolutely wonderful! Always going above and beyond to make sure Cooper is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Dependable, attentive to directions, and a great communicator. Shelby has truly become Cooper’s best friend and the excitement when Shelby arrives says it all!
